does the multi channel 3.1 audio set up of these speakers work when streaming movies from my pc via bluetooth bt-d1 usb adaptor

Yep. I connect my pc to the speakers and the HDMI cable from the pc to the tv and I get sound from both (speakers and tv). And regarding the BT-D1, yes. It will work.

I have a macbook and have used this speaker for watching Youtube or other streaming sites. Works well.

Yes...Very frustrating..I can get sound with Stereo, but not 5.1...Really makes the HD feeds useless...

If your computer is running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 of any flavor in either 32bit or 64bit it should work just fine. It's Bluetooth 4.0 which is the latest version. Bluetooth 4.0 is backwards compatible which means that even if your speakers are the older 3.0 version it should work just fine.

Hi Louise. Thanks for the question. These 2 operate on different systems. So unfortunately the answer is no. These speakers work great with bluetooth phones, tablets and the like. Hope this helps. Contact AV-Express for more questions.

I have the same problem 5.1 only seems to pass thru HDMI 1. I have to connect my bluRay player directly to Amp to get 5.1

My set up is currently only running 5.1 and has no problems. The layout of my living room makes it difficult to use all 7 speakers. If you choose this system and hook in the Audessy michrophone, it will realize only 5.1 are connected.

Idk I only use two speakers and mine works great. You might wanna make sure that all of your speakers are plugged in correctly

Tom,Yep, did the test tone both from the Onkyo and BD player. All 6 speakers responded. I did set the BD player for PCM for all formats for 5.1ch. It's my understanding when using the Onkyo DVD Multichannel during playback, the Onkyo ignores its own speaker settings and uses whatever is coming from the BD player. Perhaps I need to tinker with the speaker settings in the BD player. Thanks,Dennis

Not out of the box. They will require a conversion from either HDMI or Optical audio (toslink) to 3.5mm stereo jack (headphone jack)

I believe stinkbug's answer is correct. you must select the external speakers in the sound preferences in your settings.

As long as the adapter or the home theater receiver has a method of pairing with the speakers, they should be able to connect and stream audio

My sound bar, the Vizio 5.1 wireless system indicates that 5.1 dolby digital when connected via optical to the tv's optical out. It only does this when the source on the TV is 5.1 in OTA programming or using the in TV smart applications. Its does not provide 5.1 passthrough with my HDMI cable to my set top box or my PS3. Those had to be hooked up directly to the soundbar to get 5.1 sound. However if you have a soundbar that will upmix 2 ch PCM it will pass that signal through HDMI and try its best to make it "surround"

I am having no issues using Windows 8.1 Pro's default Bluetooth driver. I pair with speakers and headphones that do not use a code. Works well. Never bothered with any other drivers. This info may not help you in any other version of Windows. I can't attest.

NathanJr is correct, however, mine didn't work at all, I was very disappointed, Amazon being awesome did get me another set of speakers at a great price...

I just tried it out to verify my answer. It DOES mix 3.5 aux and bluetooth. It will not pair with 2 or more bluetooth devices simultaneously like their D200 speakers however.

You need some sort of audio device in your system whether it be a built-in or an expansion card. If you computer has 6 audio ports you should be good. I've never had any issue hooking up 5.1 speakers to any computer. Also, consider some Logitech speakers, these actually aren't that great.

I use them, and love them, from my computer. They have sound levels on them but they also respond to sound increases/decreases made from the computer provided that I connect by bluetooth or 3.5 jack. With an optical connection they do not. There is a slight delay when using bluetooth which is fine for music but not for watching tv on the computer.
